Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Tin Roof Rain”

March 23, 2018 by James M. Garrett Leave a Comment

The rain is hitting on the tin roof.
We’re all safe and warm inside.
The dog snuggled up close by the bed,
And I have my arm around you.
Your fingers are running through my hair.
You hear the words again, I’ve often said,
“Hold me tight and love me.
Breathe softly on my chest at night,
And be the one that’s left for me to see.
Be the one that’s left with me,
There to share my every day.
Be the one that’s left for me to see.
Hold me tight, and love me.
Hold me tight, and love me.
Hold me tight, and love me, love me still.
Hold me tight, Love. Love, say you will.
